Good to get official word that Johnnies will suck.

[Herman Cain]

Creighton releases their non Conference schedule. One interesting quirk is they could end up playing Alabama twice. The  Bluejays face The Crimson Tide on the road as the part of a previously scheduled home and home. Both terms are in The Players Era multi team event so conceivably they could end up meeting in a championship game .

Johnnies announce their preseason schedule. Hopefully , for the benefit of the Big East, they get out of the gates stronger this season than they did last year.

as usual, other than a MTE they don't leave NYC or the state of NY for a non-conference schedule.

Not playing a single road game in non-con is a choice.

nice get for Butler for the upcoming season.

Langdon was ranked as the No. 105 overall player in the 2025 class, according to On3. With his move to the 2024 class, the Raleigh, North Carolina native will now be ranked No. 140 nationally.

Hmmmm....

Zero chance STJ is #3

[brewcity77]

I would flip Xavier and St. John's, and do think that 1-5 is really murky. I think you can make a case for anyone, even UConn, to be anywhere in that mix. Only other change I'd have is Butler might be a bit higher.

DePaul - key departures - Everyone.

Someone is going to finish last and it won't be DePaul--Chris Holtmann can coach and he can recruit.

I guess he just decided to do neither at OSU.

[Nukem2]

I guess he just decided to do neither at OSU.

His first 5 years at tOSU were decent to good as he made the NCAAs each year but for the pandemic year. The last 2 tailed off which probably speaks to the recruiting.

255th and 361st in Luck the last two seasons didn't help.

[duanewade]

Poor Villanogo.  Looks like Marquette under Wojo also.

Keep in mind that Luck is an invented stat to explain why actual performance differed from what the mathematical models predicted.

In other words, bad Luck didn't cause poor performance . . .  poor performance resulted in a low Luck rank.

Correct,  but it could indicate that they weren't as bad as they might appear at first glance

So, seeing is not believing?

Friars could potentially be a strong team if Hopkins recovers and The Chicago State transfer plays well.
